HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 c1067
50. Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the purpose for which the sums advanced by Abram Efros to His Majesty's Representative in Moscow in 1918 were required, and upon what services the sums were spent?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Dalton)

I have been asked to reply. So far as I am aware, the sums advanced by Abram Efros to His Majesty's Representative in Moscow in 1918 were devoted to the expenses of the Mission. Owing, however, to the circumstances of the withdrawal from Soviet Russia of His Majesty's Representative and His Majesty's Consular Officers, there exist no detailed accounts of the Mission's expenditure.
